Lincoln Restaurant

Lincoln is a balance between old and new, modern and classic, rustic and refined, casual and formal, everyday and special occasion. Lincoln offers an honest expression of Portland cuisine - direct and elemental yet sophisticated. The front-of-the-house warmth is delivered by a team of seasoned local professionals who focus specifically on genuine and attentive service.

The menu is simple, not fussy. The food is direct in style, flavor and presentation. Seasonal fare on the changing menu concentrates on what is grown in the Pacific Northwest. What's listed on the menu is what's delivered on the plate.

The restaurant's design is a balance of old and new. The renovated warehouse adorned with local art has a raw charm that shines with warmth. Concrete floors meet exposed wood trusses, and natural light permeates the space through enormous glass windows and roll up garage doors. A large black and white charcoal rooster rendering hangs on the wall amid furniture made from reclaimed timber.

Commercial is dinner served in our commercial kitchen. Think 12 plush stools around a large butcher-block table. It's dinner next to the stove - and we mean literally, next to the stove. Of course wine and a full bar are available, as well as a chef and host. Available by reservation.
